I wish to refer the Deputy to the reply given to Parliamentary Question 47245/09 of 16 December 2009 and to supplementary figures relating to FÁS and Skillnets training emailed to him on 18 December 2009.

In addition, 5,042 persons availed of FÁS evening courses and 912 persons availed of FÁS on-line training courses in 2008. Unfortunately, statistics for evening courses and on-line training are not collated on a county by county basis.

Full data for 2009 are still not yet available. When the data becomes available, it will be transmitted to the Deputy.
